DEFENDS ARTICLE TEN
IN SPEECH ON LEAGUE
Democratic Campaigner
Strongly Advocates Adoption
of Covenant and Treaty
Before a crowd of approximately
1500 persons who gathered In tho Or
pheum theatre at 9:30 o'clock this
morning, William J. McAdoo, former
secretary of the L'nlted States treas
ury, gave a stirring address upon the
league ofnatlor.s subject und warned
that If America did not accept the cov
enant the country should begin prepa
rations In a military vay to rlsist the
world. If We stay out," he declared.
we later mas have to fight the forty
nations' of the league."
The speaker won his greatest ap
plause when he shouted, "I feel so
strongly toward the league that if Gov
ernor Cox was against it and Senator
Harding was for It. I would vote for
Senator Harding."
RPLEVDID Kl i I PI l
A great ovation w as given I hi
peiiker as be appeared In the theatre
and the audience arose in greeting
following his Introduction by Governor
Simon Bamberger,
The special car carrying Mr. Mc
Adoo and his party arrived In the ug
den yards at 5,20 o'clock this morning.
Ther,.. wus apparently some misunder
standing In regard to the morning
meeting and when the Ogden delega
tion appeared in the special at 9
o'clock. Mr. McAdoo was still in his
Stateroom He dressed hurriedly and
accompanied them to the theatre in
an automobile.
In opening his talk, Mr. McAdoo
took occasion to thank the people of
Ftuh for supporting him during the
Democratic convention and aald "I
appreciate blghl) what you people
ir!e, tO lo at San FranclsCO and I also
thank San Francisco for what It did."'
lie then explained that he had never
SOUghl political office and much pre
ferred to be classed as a private citi
zen. Mr. McAdoo impressed upon his
hcarei-s that the league of nations was
DOl n organisation to make war, but
an organization to prevent war. He
said the many safeguards that sur
round the covenant were almost per
fec i and he declared in his opinion the
league would function equally as well
us the constitution of the Doited
States. r
EXPL 1IN6 1RTH LE 10,
In calling attention lo article 10 of
the covenant, he said: "it does not
mean that we are to contribute our
men. but we can simply be called upon
to determine whether or not we should
become a part of the military forc
ur onlj obligation will be to give c oil?
lld ration and our later action will de
fend wholly upop action to be taken
by congress. If that body decides we
will not contribute we don't contrib
ute." Mayor Frank Francis opened the
meeting and introduced Governor Si
mon Bamberger, who presided. On the
speaker's stand wore Thomas N. Tay
lor, candidate for overnor of Utah.
James H. Moyle, and many Weber
county Democrats.

"There is a general demand for re
duced taxation, but how are we to
bring It about? Certainly we cannot,
nor would we reduce the amount to
pay pensions to soldiers of the Civil

a victorious conclusion the last great

the amounts required to carry on the

saving can be effected is to get rid of
the expenditures required for unneceswl
sary military armaments.

If we enter the leasue of nations,
gad bring about reduction and linn
tatlon of military armaments we may ,
be able to save at least $500,000,000 i
per annum of the amount now expend-I
ed on our army and navy. This, of
course, would afford great relief. But
we cannot disarm and save this money
Unless all the other nations disarm. I
Nor can w expect the forty nations
which have already Joined the league
of Nations to disarm unless the Unit- j
Sd States agrees also to disarm.
'If we stay out1 of the league, we
nust. of course, enter upon a far great
er scale of military and naval arma
ments than over before because wo
must be prepared to resist attack both
fti the Atlantic and the Pacific. Jui
situation is rendered much more seri
